Membership is FREE, so come and join us as we celebrate the life of one of the most
talented artists that Liverpool or England has ever produced.

PLUS - he was one of the founding members of The Beatles as bass player, and the
one who named the group. As John Lennon’s best friend, Stuart’s influence on the
group was recognised by his fellow band- members. Join us to recognise this unique
talent.

Artist: Musician: Beatle

After discussion the Residents of Cathedral court (No 1&2 Gambier Terrace) have decided
they would like to create two parterres outside their residence: one to acknowledge
the young men who used the buildings at the north end of Gambier Terrace during WW1
to recover (or not) from their wounds and the other to acknowledge another young
man, Stuart Sutcliffe, who resided with John Lennon at No 3 Gambier Terrace and in
his short lifetime created a substantial body of art and in his spare time help "create"
The Beatles.

The idea to celebrate Stuart came from Brian Carney, who lives in part of Stuart's
flat at 3 Gambier Terrace; Brian is a big Beatles' fan and when he saw a new resident
to the area starting to do up the gardens at the north-end of Gambier Terrace, he
wondered out loud whether Stuart ought to have someing like John has outside Dakota
Buildings in Central Park NYC.

Commenting on Stuart's parterre, Anne and Ken ( the former and the current Tenant
reps, respectively, at Cathedral Court) said: Also I think that the Stuart Sutcliffe
memorial should concentrate solely on the life of the man and his work as an artist
and try to downplay any connection with the Beatles.. They would be interested to
know what the fans think on the matter. If it is decided to focus on his art an interesting
palete of colours is available: the eponymous Admiral Lord Gambier after a highly
successful naval career moved into developing the pansy/viola species - which as
you know come in a range of diffent colours!!
